[wix-users] Start Menu, Windows 10

      <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop">
        <Component Id="Shortcuts" Guid="37aa8635-481b-4bcd-8b34-567d7422b97f">
          <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Statistics Canada\test" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
            <RegistryValue Name="ID8330f8cd_e5e6_48c3_8756_7d75787eca81" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes" />
          </RegistryKey>
          <util:InternetShortcut Id="Shortcut0" Name="CMP Offline" Target="http://localhost:8080/" Directory="DesktopFolder" />
          <util:InternetShortcut Id="Shortcut1" Name="CMP Offline" Target="http://localhost:8080/" Directory="ProgramMenuFolder" />
        </Component>
      </Directory>
      <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" />

I use the above to attempt to add a shortcut to an URL in Windows 10. The desktop one works, albeit with the initial "How do you wish to open this app" dialogue.
The start menu one does not seem to work. I realize that I am putting both as a descendant of DesktopFolder, but from what I understand the Directory attribute should override this anyway.

What should I be doing to get a Start Menu shortcut in Windows 10? I read something that suggests that it is not possible unless one's item is a Windows Store application. Is that correct?
(Also, can one automatically launch Edge and not have the "How ..." ever show up?)

Thanks,
